Fay, U.S. Tax Court!» Senior Attorney, Interpretative Division, Chief Counsel s Office, Internal Revenue Service, Washington D.C The firm regularly works with law firms, accountants, businesses and individuals struggling to find their way through the complexities of the tax law.

3 By the end of this presentation you will better understand how these items relate to ponzi scheme tax loss: THE SAFE HARBOR & The Internal Revenue Procedure THE LAW & The Internal Revenue Ruling TAX PLANNING How the taxpayer will plan and implement his or her Ponzi scheme tax loss for maximum benefits now and in the future.
4 Tax Refunds from Ponzi Scheme Losses Are Extremely Valuable
5 Tax Refunds from Ponzi Scheme Losses Are Extremely Valuable Ordinary Income Loss can be used against all types of income. 3 Year Carry Back Fast Process to Receive Cash Tax Refund and Amended Returns No Litigation Costs or Delays Most Secure Payer United States Government Can be as High as 39.9% Plus 3.8%Return for each Dollar Loss and more for state income tax refunds and due to the absence of deduction limitations Can be a higher value in future with higher taxes 20 Year Carry Forward Possibility of Receiving Interest on Tax Refunds from Prior Years Value Can Be Lost Without Good Professional Advice
6 PROFESSIONAL Tax Planning The final professional product should provide the taxpayer with appropriate projections of the use of the tax losses under differing circumstances that are legally feasible to obtain. The client will be able to understand the financial effect of various options that the tax loss and litigation recoveries may provide for. Since the theft loss may be carried back three years and carried forward 20 years, it is extremely valuable.
7 The Safe Harbor The IRS Revenue Procedure
8 The Safe Harbor The Safe Harbor requires that the Ponzi scheme victims forego the opportunity to file amended returns for those years that are still open by the statute of limitations. However, by amending a prior return instead of taking a theft loss deduction, a taxpayer can eliminate only the taxpayer s Ponzi scheme phantom income from the taxable income in the prior years. This will typically be the high bracket income.
9 Ponzi Schemes & Theft Loss
10 The Theft Loss allows a deduction for loss sustained during the taxable year and not compensated by insurance or otherwise. For federal income tax purposes, theft is a word of general and broad connotation, covering any criminal appropriation of another s property to the use of the taker, including theft by swindling, false pretenses and any other form of guile. A taxpayer claiming a theft loss must prove that the loss resulted from a taking of property that was illegal under the law of the jurisdiction in which it occurred and was done with criminal intent. However, a taxpayer need not show a conviction for theft.
11 Ponzi Schemes & Theft Loss The Theft Loss Privity of Investor Character of Loss Limitations on Deductions
12 II. Ponzi Schemes & Theft Loss Amount of the Theft Loss Year of Theft Loss Deduction Amount of Theft Loss Deduction in Year of Discovery Amount of Theft Loss Deduction in Later Years and Recoveries in Excess of Theft Loss Deductions
13 The Amount of The Loss (Basis) & Phantom Income Definition of Phantom Income: The Revenue Ruling and the Revenue Procedure both acknowledge that: Theft loss resulting from a Ponzi scheme is generally The initial amount invested in the arrangement plus 2. Any additional investments upon which taxes have been paid, less amounts withdrawn The I.R.S. agrees that if an amount is reported to the investor as income in years prior to the year of discovery of the theft and the investor includes the amount in gross income; then the amount of the theft loss is increased by the purportedly reinvested amount (the Phantom Income ).
14 Year of Discovery Definition of Taxable Year of Discovery any loss arising from theft shall be treated as sustained during the taxable year in which the taxpayer discovers such loss. A loss is considered to be discovered when a reasonable person in similar circumstances would have realized that he or she had suffered an unrecoverable loss. Although a theft loss must be considered as sustained in the year of its discovery, [The code section] does not indicate that discovery of some false representation (even amounting to theft under applicable law) creates a theft loss as of the date of the discovery of the falsity of the representation. The statue refers to the year of discovery of the loss, not of the theft.
15 Year of Discovery The year of discovery is very important and evidence is critical here to show exactly when and how a taxpayer can pin down this time. We look to several examples of CASE LAW to help us to define the year of discovery of a theft loss.
16 The Amount & Timing Of The Theft Loss
17 Reasonable Prospect of Recovery Definition of Reasonable Prospect of Recovery A reasonable prospect of recovery exists when the taxpayer has a bona fide claim for recoupment from third parties or otherwise, and when there is a substantial possibility that such claims will be decided in the taxpayer s favor. The taxpayer is not, however, required to be an incorrigible optimist and claims with only remote or nebulous potential for success will not postpone the deduction.
18 Reasonable Prospect of Recovery 1. In determining the reasonableness of a taxpayer s belief of loss the courts had to be practical and aware of the individual facts of a case. 2. Circumstances are those that are known or reasonably could be known as of the end of the tax year for which the loss deduction is claimed. The only test is foresight, not hindsight. 3. Both objective and subjective factors must be examined.
19 Reasonable Prospect of Recovery The taxpayer s legal rights as of the end of the year of discovery are all important and need to be studied to make a proper decision. One of the facts and circumstances deserving of consideration is the probability of success on the merits of any claim brought by the taxpayer. The filing of a lawsuit may give rise to an inference of a reasonable prospect of recovery. However, the inference is not conclusive nor mandatory. The inquiry should be directed to the probability of recovery as opposed to the mere possibility. A remote possibility of recovery is not enough; there must be a reasonable prospect of recovery at the time the deduction was claimed, not later.
20 Ascertainable Standard Once the taxpayer has deducted all that could be deducted in the year of discovery by reducing the loss for all reasonable prospects of recovery the tax in year two, after the discovery year, from this point on will be able to claim continuing theft loss deductions until the loss is recovered in full. However, at this point the taxpayer cannot deduct any more of his or her un-deducted theft loss unless the deduction can be ascertained with a reasonable certainty. This is a higher standard of proof.
21 Tax Planning The major principle seen in each of the court s decisions is that victims of the fraud who want to take the theft loss deduction in the year of discovery, must be well advised to separately consider each of their potential sources of recovery. Value can be lost without good professional advice.
22 PROFESSIONAL Tax Planning Tax planning should result in a professional work product that will most likely accompany an amended return or similar type of I.R.S. filing. The document will most likely be the work product of at least three of the client s advisors: 1. THEIR ACCOUNTANT 2. A TAX ATTORNEY 3. LITIGATION COUNSEL
23 PROFESSIONAL Tax Planning With the professional team in place, the steps generally will be as follows: 1. Records 2. Basis Calculations 3. Sources of Recovery 4. Loss in Year of Discovery 5. Accounting Schedules and Forecasts These projections will be critical.
24 The Safe Harbor The IRS Revenue Procedure
25 Comparison of Revenue Procedure vs Revenue Ruling
26
27 Other Reductions to Qualified Investment Loss SAME FOR SAFE HARBOR OR THE LAW 1. Loss Reduced by Actual Recovery Received in the year of Discovery 2. Loss Reduced by Insurance policies In the name of the Qualified investor 3. Loss Reduced by Contractual arrangements that guarantees or otherwise protects against loss of the qualified investment 4. Loss Reduced by Certain Amounts Payable from the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SPIC)
28 Theft Loss vs Amended Returns
29 Amended Returns A deduction obtained from amending tax returns to eliminate only the Ponzi scheme income may be more valuable than a theft loss deduction.
